This proposal is to begin awarding stand alone minors for International Students with a notation on the student's transcripts and an in-house certificate. Stand alone minors will not be awared as an official credential on a UNA diploma, as that would require the use of stand alone minors to come under SACSCOC asessment guidelines.

With the approval of this proposal, will come a subsequent COAD informational item review of the details of this process and how this process is to be implemented.

Submitted my Mitch Powell on behalf of Dr. Cain and Dr. Zhang.
